Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Armada gets a significant makeover for 2021, starting with a squarer front end featuring prominent headlights. The design revisions reach out back, too, with a new bumper and taillights that are connected by a continuous trim piece. There's also a newly available Midnight Edition with blacked-out trim. Inside, Nissan redesigned the center stack and added a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay.

PROS
Serenely quiet and comfy,
smooth,
potent powertrain,
pillowy ride.

CONS
Dreadful fuel economy,
some dated interior elements,
wanders at highway speeds.

Iconic exterior design
Luxurious interior
Powerful engines
Commendable off-roading capabilities

Cons
Hard to get in and out
Not as much cargo space as expected
Unavailable with latest infotainment tech
Clumsy handling on pavement

By:

Pros
A box-shaped rocket ship,
boosted performance doesn't compromise off-road prowess,
a millionaire's Jeep.

Cons
Boxy shape makes it overly noisy on the highway,
cornering is not a strong suit, high cost makes scratching it more concerning.
